Information about Arganzuela

The origins of Arganzuela

The Arganzuela district is the natural southern extension of the Historical centre. Until the 18th century it was used for services, Fernando VI designed the walkways that currently define the layout of the district.

The industrial development of Arganzuela came about with construction of the railway, installation of a Gas Factory and the addition of land to the Ensanche de Madrid (Madrid Extension) project in the 19th century.

In accordance with the Town Planning of 1963, social reform of Arganzuela took place, subsequently developed through the Special Avda. de la Paz Plan (M-30) and the Pasillo Verde Ferroviario Action Plan. This meant that the industrial facilities in the district were moved away to make space for parks and cultural centres.
